Thanatos, the Loving God of Death

Just got nothing to do and my Playlist played Meiou (Sound Horizon's 6th Story CD "Moira" track 1) and it is pretty much featuring Thanatos and how he sees "Death" as a salvation in live.

Truee enough, people will eventually wither and come back to the ground. There is no such thing as eternity in this world. Beauties will shatter and crumbles. No matter what you do, whether you lead a happy and wonderful life or a cruel life of poverty and sadness, you will eventually meet the same end. Death. It is the ultimate salvation for your life in the world.

Unlike what usually happens in this world, where those with more money or good look will be easier to love, Thanatos loves everyone equally. That is why he saves everyone no matter how poor and unsightly they are, no matter how beautiful and rich they are. Thanatos loves them all and will save them from the cruel hand of Moira, the goddess of Fate. Well that is from the point of view of Thanatos and those humans that have been getting cruel fate all their life. That is why those who hates fate will tend to side with Thanatos. Siding with "death". Have you got where this is heading? Another clue then: suicides

Thinking at this, this might be the Greek's explanation for suicides phenomenon happening back than. From the point of view of a happy people leading normal life without too much twist of fate, it does not make sense why someone would want to end one's own life willingly. But then in the point of view of the people tempted by the idea of suicide, it does really make sense. Fate is cruel for some people and by making the figure of Moira, the goddess of Fate, it is possible for those who are toyed by fate to have object to blame for their miserable life. While for them who are already tired of this world that seems to be toying with them giving them twists and turns, will want to escape from this world and that means they have to find another world. Hades... Thanatos is the personification of Death that will eventually come to everyone equally, regardless of the position, fortune, and any other worldly things. That is their savior.

Thanatos from Sound Horizon's MOIRA... Parodying over Tonari no Totoro, a Ghibli Movie XD

I heard the name Thanatos is also used in this modern days. It is a term to describe a powerful will to die happening in certain people. I found someone with this in a Japanese drama though. The character Kairi in Japanese Drama, LOVE SHUFFLE is an acute Thanatos syndrom sufferer. She has no willing of life and tends to be suicidal when no one is keeping watch. She even halucinates of meeting Thanatos coming to pick her up

"Chinureta hanayome mukai ni yukou~" (I have come to pick you up, o blood-covered bride)

Maybe Kairi listen to MOira too much XD
